Harm Or Protect

Do you harm or protect? I thought you were put on this Earth to protect me. But all you have done is harm me. I thought you were my protector? It hurts me when you say those words. Don’t you know that they harm? When you threat it harms me.

I miss the old you. I miss the one who took care of me when I had no mother and an hardly there father. I miss being protected by you. Bruises hurt and words scar. So tell me brother, do you harm or protect?
